CANTON, Ohio - NewsChannel5's investigative team obtained a third video that once again shows a Canton police officer making death threats during a traffic stop.

Officer Daniel Harless was the subject of national media attention in July when a video of Harless cursing and making death threats during a traffic stop went viral.

In the latest video, you see Harless pull over a car for no apparent reason. Harless then makes threats to shoot one of the passengers inside.

NewsChannel5's investigators also obtained hundreds of pages of records on Harless, including more than one dozen other internal affairs complaints.

We asked Chief Dean McKimm about why nothing has been done until now. He said until he saw the tapes, he never knew Harless had any problems.

We are digging through all of the records we obtained and will have a full story at 11 p.m. on NewsChannel5. We'll also post our full investigation here on newsnet5.com.
